Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

TO BUILD A VIBRANT, DIVERSE AND SUSTAINABLE PERFORMING ARTS ECONOMY THAT IS AUTHENTIC TO OUR AREA AND ENGAGED WITH OUR COMMUNITY, WHILE PROVIDING FAIR WAGE OPPORTUNITIES TO LOCAL ARTISTS.

  • IMMERSIVE EVENTS WE WERE ABLE TO PRODUCE THREE LARGE EVENTS IN 2024. THE FIRST WAS PRIMAVERA, WHICH GAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO 70 ARTISTS AND HAD 300 IN ATTENDANCE. FROM WITHIN WAS OUR NEXT EVENT, WHICH PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR 8 ARTISTS WITH 140 IN ATTENDANCE. FINALLY, RAZZLE DAZZLE PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR 145 LOCAL ARTISTS WITH AN ATTENDANCE OF MORE THAN 500.

  • THE POP-UP PROJECT STREET TEAM - COMMISSIONS THIS PROGRAM IS WELL-ESTABLISHED. IT ALLOWS US TO PUT DANCE INTO THE SERVICE OF EVENT PRODUCERS, PARTY PLANNERS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS, ETC. IT TAKES DANCE TO THE PEOPLE, LIMITING GEOGRAPHIC BARRIERS TO ACCESS, WHILE KEEPING POP-UP VISIBLE IN THE COMMUNITY AND PROVIDING REGULAR, PAID OPPORTUNITIES TO ARTISTS. IN 2024, WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE PERFORMING OPPORTUNITIES TO AS MANY AS 50 ARTISTS, INCLUDING TEACHING ARTISTS, STUDIO ARTISTS AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS GUEST ARTISTS.

    Expenses $73,827 · Revenue $86,612

  • YOUTH PROGRAM OUR COMPREHENSIVE YOUTH PROGRAM SERVED APPROXIMATELY 2000 CHILDREN IN 2024, PROVIDING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE CLASSES IN A VARIETY OF STYLES, INCLUDING MODERN, BALLET, JAZZ AND HIP-HOP. IT INCLUDES FIELD TRIPS TO MILESTONE CULTURAL ACTIVITIES AND A TWO-WEEK SUMMER INTENSIVE. OUR CURRICULUM MEETS STATE EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS IN TENNESSEE, AS WELL AS THOSE USED IN PROFESSIONAL STUDIOS. OUR PROGRAM IS ONE OF THE FEW IN THE AREA THAT PROVIDES A DANCE EDUCTION TO LOW INCOME CHILDREN, AND IS, THEREFORE, CRUCIAL TO CREATING MORE EQUITY IN ARTS ACCESS AND EDUCATION IN OUR AREA.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
